A cataract occurs when the eye's natural lens becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision, glare, difficulty driving at night, and faded colors. Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, helping restore vision and improve quality of life.

Dropless Cataract Surgery
Dropless cataract surgery is an innovative approach that eliminates the need for post-operative eye drops. During surgery, medication is administered directly into or around the eye, where it is slowly released over time to support healing and recovery.
Benefits of Dropless Cataract Surgery
- No daily eye drops
- No complicated drop schedules
- No expensive post-operative prescriptions
- Reduced risk of missed doses
- Convenient recovery experience
Medication placed during surgery gradually releases over time, helping control inflammation and support healing without the need for multiple post-operative eye drops.
